That was me trying to get you in the mood for Halloween. I love Halloween. I love the costumes, the tricks, the treats, the rather marvellous ghost stories...

Which reminds me, now you've mentioned it. My chilling short story Late: a ghostly tale is free this Halloween! Follow the link on the right to go to its Amazon page. Only the faithful know about this special offer- I did promise that there would be cake!

Don't forget to leave a review once you've read (and hopefully enjoyed) my tale of terror. You can also leave me a message here.

What's that? You're at work? Sneakily checking out the blog of a rather talented and easy-on-the-eye writer? Don't blame you. I would.

Seeing as you're busy, I'll make this quick (no sniggering at the back! Filth...)

I just popped in to let you know that there's a rather tasty snippet from The Hungry-Man ready for your perusal on my website. Thought you might be interested... Cake for the faithful and all that. Find it on the Teasers tab.

Two things happened this weekend that combined to bring me a sweet and perfect moment of clarity, and I felt compelled to share. The first, a message from a friend sharing some sad news. The second, a conversation with a lovely lady at Harvey's agility training today. I never caught her name, but her dog was called Blue (and he is one of handsomest dogs I've ever seen) so I shall call her Blue's Mummy. More on that in a moment. Let me set the scene first.

Despite a shameful lack of sleep, and an equally shameful "still-in-my-dressing-gown" status, I have been a busy bunny today.

My plans for world domination and scaring the trousers off of people have taken a step forward. I have negotiated the tricky world of techy-geek stuff and presented a humble offering to Amazon. Fingers crossed I can pull it off (the plan, not people's trousers- that's my other secret plan). I'll let you know as soon as a certain spine-chilling short is available to download. Until then, enjoy the sneak peek on my website.

Do feel free to leave a comment telling me how excited you are about this development and, if you love your friends, (or at least want to see them reduced to a quivering wreck by a ghostly tale) be sure to spread the word. There will be cake for the faithful.

I've just finished the (almost) final edit of "Late". Here's a little preview to keep you amused.

Well, here we are. It was a bit of a whirlwind journey but, like most of my decisions, not as sudden as it appears.

I was once described (by a good friend) as a "criminal mastermind"- a synopsis that, once explained, I fully agreed with. I don't make rash decisions. People who don't know me well think I can be impulsive, but everything has always been ticking away quietly for a while. I hope you'll stick around and give me a chance to explain myself. It's late now, and good girls should really be in bed.

About Me

Currently teaching and surviving in rural Lincolnshire, famed for its beautiful open sky and not much else. I dream of rainy days and cups of tea. My faithful terriers and I love long walks on the beach, where they can bounce in the surf and I can paddle with my shoes on. I will only eat trifle if my Nan made it. Sometimes I have Strange Ideas. Sometimes I write them down.
